1901 Map of Redding

About this map

Redding serves as the focal point of this 1900 survey, situated at the southern edge of a landscape defined by the confluence of the Pit River and the Sacramento River. The region is a patchwork of early industrial and agricultural activity, evidenced by the Central Mine Spur and numerous small settlements such as Kennett and Keswick that supported the local mining and timber economies before the landscape was altered by mid-century dam projects. To the north, the Shasta National Forest encompasses steep terrain including Nawtawakit Mt and Bollibokka Mountain.
